Volume 98
This dictionary is carefully named. It is a dictionary of rhyming slangs, slangs rather
than slang. That plural is important to us. Our intention is to provide a comprehensive account of the varieties of rhyming slang found in and around English-speaking
communities worldwide. Our purpose is to give the terms collected herein geographic
and social identity and thereby offer an authoritative, up-to-date record of the variant
rhyming slangs used in the anglophone world....
